Erlang needs a nerf, not Wise-Voice

[Doc Hammer]

Erlang is broken and never stops attacking. He has no reason to be this powerful and needs to be nerfed. Unfortunately, not enough people have made it to him to undertake and note the issue with the developer. Nerf incoming, but you won't see it for awhile until more peeps gain access to him. Wise-Voice, really?

So freeze him, cmon now

You can try to open invincible mode

You obviously haven't fought him yet. Freezing does nothing after the first time. Trust me, this is the hardest and most annoying boss in the game.

Max out spellbinder, crit chance and damage, smash stance jingubang, get 515+ mana, equip needle that gives you crit chance, gore daoist for extra mana, curios for mana and crit. Cast the spellbinder BEFORE entering the boss arena, then swap the gore daoist for non-able, swap two pieces of wukong armor for iron bull and beat him up. Don't even bother with the fan. Spellbinder melts him faster as long as you don't play too passively.

Use the Fan from Chapter 5.

That's what I just ended up doing. Seems to be working better so we'll see.

wouldn't the staff with 25% crit be better than jingubang, having 3 piece of the wukong set is irrelevant considering it's a spellbinder build and the set gives a damage bonus shortly after spellcasts for 3 piece which you just don't do with spellbinder

That's a new game plus weapon tho. On NG, jingubang and the tri-spear are pretty much the strongest weapons in terms of raw dps and crit chance.
You only need wukong's crown for the extra 30 mana, since spellbinder converts mana to damage. After activating spellbinder, replace armor and spirit with anything you like, but I kept wukong bracers and greaves for the extra crit chance (4% on the bracers) and +30 stamina, plus they had higher defense value than any other pieces of armor I had at the time.

for me its this garbage trash groundwave ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that he cant stop spaming

[kpr]

was able to get him to 1/6 health once with cloud walk + heavy fully charged attack mostly.

but this combo is too unreliable. he is deus ex machina avoiding it randomly or transforming to animal in exact same moment when I am attacking, causing him again to avoid my attack, resulting in it being random and unreliable.

on the other hand it seems I am hitting him during his combo/attack sequence.

but still, too unreliable.

♥♥♥♥♥♥ fight indeed.

100% agree. cant hit him with light attacks, because he blocks. cant hit with heavies, because he dodges. i quit trying when he dodged 3rd max charged heavy in a row. no transformations, no freeze, no fire ring, because heavies are useless. rock solid is inconsitent because timings are ♥♥♥♥ and sometimes he misses when he is not supposed to. cloud step, summons and spellbinder should work but overall its a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

[Glutoniano]

agree. even if we manage to defeat him one hour, he needs to be nerfed. At least his shield bar.

theres some other bosses that needs to be nerfed either, this game is actually too much unbalanced. It's like some secret bosses are laughably easy... and then, we had to face some erlang ♥♥♥♥.

[Deathwing1306]

20% of Steam users has the achievement which you will get when you beat him which is crazy high number, there are also people who do not know about him because all they did was that they beat Great Sage and that is it, some people also didn't beat him yet because they either play slowly or they started few days ago.

If you really think about it, 20% of all users is A LOT for the hardest boss in the game.

[zero.calvin]

i'll never understand the reason to nerf wise voice, one of the easier boss in the game.. however, apparently there is a incredible cheesy way to stun lock erlang, but was patched.
